Hey all- <br><br>I'm looking to book a trip with the wife soon, but I've never had any need for sites like Expedia or Travelocity because we always had friends recommend hotels to us, etc. Now we're going a bit off on our own, and I wanted to know if anyone had any experience booking their flights/hotel arrangements through the web... <br><br>Apart from the off-kilter departure times, any nightmare stories about seedy hotels or no-name airlines? <br><br>[color:red]5.19.05 - The 'Jedi Slaughter' tour begins!</font color=red>

I booked my niece on Expedia a short while back and all went well. So I recently booked a trip for my wife and I on Expedia to go to New Orleans. Seemed effortless and got the hotel and airline we wanted at a good price.<br><br>

I won't know until June, but the hotel I booked was highly regarded by several people I know who frequent New Orleans. You have the option to select from price to star rating, and reviews are given by previous Expedia customers.<br><br>Options were sufficient, room size, bed size, smoking or none, room view, and occupancy.<br><br>

I use Amadeus, Expedia, Travelonline and others for booking flights. Try also the websites of the flight companies.<br>For hotels, depending on where are you going maybe it's better to ask us or your friends.<br><br><br>

Hey Ruben, I live quite close to New Orleans. If you want (and if you have time), we could get together for a meal or something. Have sort of a "down south" MM face to face.<br><br>Let me know, it'd be a blast.<br><br>

Sounds like a plan!!<br>My wife and I are going the third weekend in June for our anniversary and we plan to do plenty of eating and enjoy some good jazz too!!<br><br>I'll PM you with the details when we get closer to the date.<br><br>
